My December 4 webinar, “Geographical disaster recovery with Percona Replication Manager (PRM),” gave rise to a few questions. The recording of the webinar and the slides are available here, and I’ve answered the questions I didn’t have time to address below. Q1: Hi, I was wondering if corosync will work in cloud environment. As far as […]

The technologies allowing to build highly-available (HA) MySQL solutions are in constant evolution and they cover very different needs and use cases. In order to help people choose the best HA solution for their needs, we decided, Jay Janssen and I, to publish, on a regular basis (hopefully, this is the first), an update on […]

The aim of this post is to enumerate real-world usage of Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), and also to solicit use cases from the readers. One of the prominent usages in the production environment that we have come across (and our Percona consultants have assisted) is that of HP Cloud. There is a post about it […]

MySQL can be deployed in several ways, and that means you can choose a tailor-made path that best meets your needs. With simple services or development systems, many people are using a single server with some backups configured, and then simply take the downtime when a restore is needed. As the application evolves, additional requirements […]

Thanks to everyone who was in attendance on 05 June 2013 for my “Choosing a MySQL HA Solution” webinar. If you weren’t able to make it but are interested in listening to the presentation, it’s currently up and available for viewing over at percona.com. My apologies if we weren’t able to get to your question […]

If you are using Percona Replication Manager (PRM) with RHEL/CentOS prior to 6.4, upgrading your distribution to 6.4 may break your cluster. In this post I will explain you how to fix your cluster in case it breaks after a distribution upgrade that implies an update of pacemaker from 1.1.7 to 1.18. You can also […]

Swapping has always been something bad for MySQL performance but it is even more important for HA systems. It is so important to avoid swapping with HA that NDB cluster basically forbids calling malloc after the startup phase and hence its rather complex configuration. Probably most readers of this blog know (or should know) about […]

Today’s blog post diving into the waters of the MySQL buffer pool is a cross-post from Groupon’s engineering blog, and is Part 1 of 2. Thank you to Kyle Oppenheim at Groupon for contributing to this project and post. We’ll be posting Part 2 on Thursday. I’ll be at the Percona Live MySQL Conference and […]

This is not necessarily going to be a comprehensive post, but I learned somethings about MySQL SSL today that I thought would be worth sharing. I was setting up a PRM install for a customer and one of the requirements was SSL replication. In this particular case, I had setup PRM first, and then was […]

Since the new MySQL Pacemaker resource agent supporting PRM is now included in version 3.9.3 of the official Pacemaker resource agents package and things have stabilized a bit, I have been able to write some documentation. I wrote a first draft of the PRM documentation that is likely far from perfect, but I hope it […]
